Re: Dynamic variable names

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I would suggest reconsidering the structure of your program. It is an interesting
observation that when you have structures like this, it is often because you are trying to
program C++ as if it were C, and the creation of abstract superclasses and specific
subclasses often eliminates the need for code like this.
